Free cash (up to £600), freebies, state pension and inheritance tax too!

This week, Martin’s diving into one of his favourite topics: free money. From bank switching bonuses to cashback stacking, it’s packed with practical tips that could put cash back in your pocket.

First though, Martin starts with a straightforward back-to-basics guide to Inheritance Tax, explaining who pays it, when it applies, and some of the key rules and myths everyone should understand.

Then it’s on to one of the hottest money-making opportunities around right now: bank switching. With some banks offering up to £600 in incentives, Martin breaks down exactly how switching works, who can qualify, what you need to do to get the cash, and whether opening and closing accounts could have any impact on your credit score.

Sticking with the theme of boosting your finances, Martin reveals how to become the ultimate cashback king or queen. He explains how savvy shoppers can maximise rewards by combining cashback credit cards, cashback websites and cashback apps, turning everyday spending into a money-saving machine. In this week’s Mastermind, Martin tackles an issue affecting millions: the State Pension. He explains how the triple lock works, what it really means for pension increases in the years ahead, and why understanding it is more important than ever.

And, as ever, there’s time for something a little lighter, as Martin gives his verdict on one question many listeners have been asking: would he ever take part in Celebrity Traitors?

Free cash, pension facts and plenty of money-saving know-how - it's all in this week’s episode of The Martin Lewis Podcast.
